Album Notes

Since 2002, Earlymay has been honing their musical noise and plying their trade in the breeding ground of countless hipsters and throwaway critics - New York City. A highly charged and distinctive blend of soaring guitars, pounding drums and delicate harmonies, this quartet creates a raw, multilayered wall of sound, whilst paying homage to the likes of Remy Zero, early Radiohead and U2.

The core of Earlymay, frontman and guitarist, Brad Peterson and bass playing younger brother, Scott, have been making music together for years. They both migrated to New York City, where they recruited Robby Van Saders on drums and Tom Stuart, their most recent aquisition, on lead. This new injection of inspiration has propelled the Earlymay momentum still further.

Their debut album, Stay Off Your Heels (Mother West), was released in October 2003 and gained much critical acclaim. However, it is their recent live shows that have captivated the rapidly growing masses. A fresh energy and gravel edged bravado has emerged and rammed shows at Sin-e, The Mercury Lounge and The Bowery Ballroom only stress the point further. Recently finding themselves on the same sell out bill as The Killers, Earlymay appeared unconcerned, unleashing their frenetic and driven sound on the expectant crowd - business as usual.

In July 2005, after being on a writing hiatus, Earlymay returned to the studio to begin work on their new record, Little Answers, with producer/ engineer Charles Newman (Magnetic Fields/ Walking Concert). The record, which contains the highly contagious tracks What You Wanted, Little Answers and Radiant, epitomizes the Earlymay sound that has already lured so many. It will surely entice even more and continue this well earned momentum.
